The practical implications? The upcoming Abra Community Day event — which would likely have seen a surge of players out and about scooping up Abra spawns — has been postponed. A number of features have also been tweaked to make it easier to play Pokémon Gofrom a home setting.

Here's a list of the features changes that are being made, per the official Pokémon Gosite:
- A one-time purchase bundle of 30 Incense for 1 PokéCoin. Incense will also last for one hour.
- 1/2 Hatch Distance when Eggs are placed into Incubators during this time period
- PokéStops will now drop Gifts more frequently
- Pokémon habitats will increase and more Pokémon will be appearing in the wild
It's worth noting that while increased spawns and super-cheap Incense (which causes 'mons to spawn in your current location) will make it easier to play from home, you won't be able to do everythingfrom one place. Eggs still require some walking, and PokéStops (unless you have one on your doorstep) still need to be visited to collect items like Pokéballs.
Elsewhere, Niantic has also announced a postponement for its Harry Potter: Wizards UniteMarch community day.
